Dear Baby,
Today is the day. As of right now, you're not here. In a few hours, you will be. Right now I'm technically a mother of one. Soon, I'm a mother of two. It's crazy.
I can't explain what I'm feeling. I'm not scared or even nervous. I'm simply full of anticipation for meeting you and awe at the process we've undergone for the last nine, er, ten months. I've never been so ready for anything, except maybe the birth of your brother. I was ready for that, too.
I've instructed my work not to call me for at least two weeks so I can sit, uninterrupted and open-mouthed and stare at you. I've stocked the freezer and cabinets so I don't have to worry about what to eat, and I've stashed comfy places for you to rest all over the house so you never have to be out of arm's reach.
So many people have been waiting with bated breath for you. Our children are the luckiest little people alive to have such a network of family and friends who care honestly and deeply for them - you will never be without plenty of supporters. Also, that means someone will always be watching you. So, just so you know - for high school.
I cannot wait to dress you up like a dolly and tote you around and gaggingly show you off to anyone who will look. Your brother is already the most-photographed child in Lawrence, but just you wait. He never had a pink tutu.
6 hours and counting until we meet. Of course, I feel like I already know everything about you. We've been traveling together for a long time and it will be strange not to tote you with me every step of my day.
See you on the other side, Lily.
I love you more than you will ever know.
Always,
Mama
